TV show description:
A drama series, the Alaska Daily TV show was created by Tom McCarthy and is based on a real case.
In the story, Eileen Fitzgerald (Swank) is an award-winning investigative journalist and high-powered newspaper reporter in New York. Her reporting methods and abrasive personality are questioned after a high-profile story blows up in her face, and Eileen loses her job.
Her former mentor, Stanley Cornik (Perry), approaches her about making a big move, and she goes to work for a struggling, downsized Anchorage newspaper, the Daily Alaskan.
The skeleton crew in her new workplace includes Bob Young (Malloy), Claire Muncy (Holzman), Gabriel Tovar (Castelblanco), Yuna Park (Park), and Austin Teague (Frank).
Grudgingly, Eileen teams up with a young local reporter named Roz Friendly (Dove). Together, they begin investigating the murders of a group of indigenous women. There’s a pattern to the killings that has gone mostly ignored by the local police force.
Eileen is on a journey to find personal and professional redemption in a new locale, across the country, and in a very different world.
Episode #11 — Most Reckless Thing I’ve Ever Done
With rumors of a new Alaskan newspaper swirling, the team investigates their competition and what it means for the future of local news. Meanwhile, Eileen and Roz listen to Gloria’s final call and find their lead before an innocent man is put away.
First aired: March 30, 2023.

the best show i have watched u=in years. so of course it gets dumped, probably for more “naked” shows, the useless Kardashians, 90 day craziness or more blood and guts and gratuitous sex and comic book graphics nonsense. i thought things just might be turning around and we’d see a bit less of the mindless drivel that dominates the screen… boy was i wrong. shame on you all. you disgust me. this probably won’t get posted but hopefully at least one of you reads it.
Please keep Alaska Daily!! Great show with talented cast! A “Don’t Miss” show for us every week!
Please renew Alaska Daily! It is an incredibly good show with excellent cast.
Best new show of the season!
PLEASE KEEP Alaska Daily.
PLEASE DON’T cancel Alaska Daily. It’s the best, most realistic show on t.v., and we love that it takes place in Alaska.
Renew it. It’s the only TV show we watch because it’s not woke.
As usual, the network is probably not going to give this outstanding show the opportunity to gain a larger audience. Outstanding scripts with an overarching message about MMIA; wonderful acting and; of course, the wonderful landscape and people of ex-urban Alaska. This is definitely my favorite and most anticipated show.
RENEW, great show, great acting and great story!
